3 Design of the Dryer The basic design of the solar convection dryer is shown below[1]: Fig. 1. Section View of the dryer 4 Design Details The design is based on the model used by AA Gatea [1] for his analysis. The model was made using local materials. So, dimensions can be chosen as per the availability of materials.

Solar dryers could be either Natural convection of forced convection solar dryers. The Natural solar dryer is such that it controls the drying process and protects the agricultural produce from contamination by insects, dust, bird droppings, invasions by animals, and in comparison to Natural solar dryers, it generates higher temperatures, lower

581 blessed with abundant solar energy all the year round [1]. This solar energy can easily be harnessed by a proper design of solar dryers for crop drying. This method of drying requires the transfer of both heat and water vapour [2]. Most of our crops and grain are harvested during the peak period of rainy season and so preservation proves difficult and most of these grains and crops perish.

The design of the solar dryers varies, depending on the desired size, use and availability of materials. The most common designs for smallholder chilli producers are in cabinet form (wooden boxes and glass cover), others make use of cardboard boxes and non-reflecting polythene or …

In indirect dryers, solar energy is collected in a separate solar collector (air heater) and the heated air then passes through the grain bed, while in the mixed-mode type of dryer, the heated air from a separate solar collector is passed through a grain bed, and at the same time, the drying cabinet absorbs solar energy directly
